Like Pulp Fiction before, #9 will be set in Los Angeles, however the events here will take place in the late 1960s to early 1970s.

Although originally reported that the film would be centred around the Manson Family murders, a source advised Deadline the film will be similar to Pulp Fiction in style, with the murders being just one plot thread in a series of stories.

The notorious Manson Family murders took place in California in 1969. Members of the ‘hippy’ Family invaded the home of Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski, under the direction of cult leader Charles Manson.

Five people were murdered during the home invasion, including Sharon, who was pregnant at the time.

Manson Family member Dianne Lake has recently spoken up about her time in the cult – which she joined at the age of 14 – making the following statement to Cosmopolitan:

I’m sure he [Manson] was angry and disappointed and felt disenfranchised.

It was just the perfect storm and he already had this mindset…that there was this race war coming and that we were going to go to the desert.

And that’s why he wanted to make the record — not because he wanted to be a rock star but because he wanted money that would help fund the stay in the desert.

Casting commitments have yet to be made, however Deadline have reported the role of Sharon Tate may be given to The Wolf of Wall Street actress Margot Robbie.

Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson have all been in conversation with the iconic director in regards to this upcoming film, giving further clues as to casting decisions, though none have been confirmed.
